Bf 109 losses 4April1943
On 4April1943, North of Tunisia, 3 B 25s from the 310th Bomb Group were attacked by 5 or 6 Bf 109s. According to the mission summary and war diary time was 1445 hours, location 37 deg 30 min N, 11 deg 10 min E. Two Bf 109s were shot down. The pilot of the first one was seen to bail out as the aircraft went down. The pilot of the second one was either severely wounded or killed and as his aircraft fell out of control it crashed into B 25 41-13048. Both aircraft went into the Mediterranean. A third Bf 109 was listed as a possible. Is there any information identifying these two and possibly a third Bf 109 with names of the pilots.
Thanks,
Bill Martin
